Eclipselink update existing tables
- by javydreamercsw
Maybe I got it wrong but i though that JPA was able to update an existing table (model changed adding a column) but is not working in my case.
I can see in the logs eclipselink attempting to create it but failing because it already exists. Instead of trying an update to add the column it keeps going.
(Had to remove some < so it displays)
property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jwrestling"/
property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="password"/
property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/
property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="user"/
property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="create-tables"/
property name="eclipselink.logging.logger" value="org.eclipse.persistence.logging.DefaultSessionLog"/
property name="eclipselink.logging.level" value="INFO"/
And here's the table with the change (online column added)

After this it continues with the following.
Am I doing something wrong or is a bug?
